Shortly thereafter, junior Erica Nordlund added a score in the 27^th minute to expand the visiting team's lead to 3-0.

Sophomore goalkeeper Ciara Scott earned the victory in goal, stopping three shots over the first 74-plus minutes. Scott then gave way to junior Alyssa Ehlert, who recorded one save over the final 15-plus minutes of the contest.
